A little pot of gold… well actually its Frankincense but in its heyday the value of frankincense was equated with gold and for good reason too..

This green treasure contains Royal Hojari frankincense – Boswellia Sacra – the rarest and most potent of all frankincense.

Frankincense has long been considered to have a variety of healing properties possessing analgesic, anti-arthritic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiseptic, astringent, carminative, digestive, diuretic, expectorant, sedative, tonic and wound healing capacities. Scientists have found that the certain compounds within frankincense even help stop the spreading of cancer.

This medicinal grade resin has a bone white and greenish tint and can be chewed or steeped in water. Frankincense water has been a traditional drink in the Middle East for Centuries, people in Oman and Yemen usually soak 4 or 5 pieces of this resin in water overnight and drink the water.

HOW TO MAKE ROYAL HOJARI FRANKINCENSE WATER
 1. Place 4 or 5 pearls* of Royal Hojari Frankincense resin in the bottom of a glass jar.
 2. Boil clean purified water, pour 250ml purified water over resin.
 3. Cover with a glass plate or towel & let the water cure overnight.
 4. Drink 60ml throughout the day.

The water is enlivening, soothing and refreshing. It can also provide quick relief for your stomach; gas, nausea, biliousness or reflux, frankincense will help!
